The following are pictures of actual Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVA's) we have responded to over the last few years. In spite of the magnitude of damage to some of these vehicles, many of these folks, most wearing seat belts, either walked away or suffered relatively minor injuries. However, a number of these accidents resulted in very serious injuries and regrettably, even the loss of life. The incidents depicted in these pictures ARE THE REAL REASON WE DO WHAT WE DO. As much as we enjoy training and the rewards of competition, the bottom line is that we must dedicate ourselves to learing all we can and perfecting our skills in disentangling and providing rapid medical intervention to those we are sworn to protect. It is our profession and something we all take very seriously.
